I was thinking of using the traveling base because it's smaller & lighter.
I'll spend some time on it this weekend, maybe it's not as feasible as I
thought.

I do a lot of nymphing in tailwaters. I generally cast upstream & work my

I agree with Nick. I have a Norvice and I can't see how this works on
it by spinning the base. Mine is attached to a piece of Corian. It
is great for weight and working but I can't see turning it. I must be
missing something.

Hey guys my computer died, got a new one,
During the winter months, I nymph most of the time just because there is
nothing raising. I agree with the you on the lifting technique, I use that same
thing in the rivers here in Utah.

Mike,
Some species of nymphs are swimmers, some are clingers, some are burrowers.
If he is short-stripping a nymph (but not darting), he is probably
imitiating a swimmer variety. Dead-drifting works for imitating clingers,
and also burrowers that get washed up out of the dirt. All they can do i
I am reading a book called "Active Nymphing: Aggressive Strategies for
Casting, Rigging, And Moving the Nymphs" By Rich Osthoff. In the

casting upstream and stripping the nymph (not streamer). I am a dead
drifter almost all o

MeddelandeNick,
1. You are right on with the weave, but I would include more photos with how
to end the process or different ways to end up. One can be with hook-shank
left over (stonefly tail), using one material to batten down the other down and
make the underbody on the front portion. Or,
If you mean hanging it up using the bobbin cradle, then the cradle's
horizontal part under the jaws, will block the way completely and you won't
be able to get any material under the hook.

Again, EXCELLENT description. I have some Overton's Wonder Wax (no

The ONLY suggestion I have is again an English change. I am so
amazed at your grasp of our complicated language
Don't have the bobbin hanging directly below the hook, have the thread
straight out from the hook similar to the way the Nor vise is setup, w/ the
bobbin closer to your chest instead of off to the right. It might be a
little more awkward, but it would make finishing the weave easier. Think of
it as
Not sure if I got you right there, but if you mean having the thread tied in
during the weaving process, this is hard... since one hand will be moving
back and forth under the hook and the bobbin will be hanging in the way.

I liked both, the parallel weave in particular. One way to solve the end of
weave process is to have the thread tied in where you end ahead of time,
hold both strands of woven material in one hand & wrap thread w/ the other.
